Metropolitan Tychikos' Path to the European Court
April 13, 2026
Metropolitan Tychikos is preparing to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, a move that could lead to his removal from the Holy Synod. His suspension was imposed due to his refusal to sign a statement of repentance regarding his exclusion. Despite warnings from the Holy Synod, he continues to file cases in Cypriot courts, which is considered disobedience. His legal advisors seem to believe he needs to exhaust all legal avenues in Cyprus before pursuing his appeal. The situation suggests that the die is cast, and developments will be crucial for his career.
